Shelter In Place, The Passover

By Rich Blake on April 11, 2020

Instead of a poem today, I’m going to post an excerpt directly from the 12th Chapter of Exodus from the New International Version of the bible. Like a Sunday preacher, I’d encourage you to read the entire Book of Exodus and particularly Chapters 11 and 13.

I'm not saying that Devlin McGregor is Novartis, the makers of hydroxychloroquine, the drug approved for lupus, malaria, and rheumatoid arthritis, necessarily. I mean, they're the ones that paid Michael Cohen over $1 million for access to Trump.

“I’m Sorry, But…..” My Thoughts on Bloomberg

By Rich Blake on February 17, 2020

A Trillion Dollar Deficit! What Does That Even Mean, Seriously? Part I

By Rich Blake on February 8, 2020

By Rich Blake on February 8, 2020

In my opinion, the Feds lowering or raising of their rate to banks is more symbolic than the impact it has on the economy. I'm not saying this activity doesn't have an impact, financially, I'm saying it also has a psychological impact as well, that extends beyond the banking system.
